I've never tried to do things like grouping and calculating summaries in XSLT, but I think that: * writing the config file for the GroupingTransformer is less work than doing the same thing in XSLT. * calculating things like averages, sums, min and max values is a lot easier than in XSLT (or probably impossible XSLT) * it should run faster than XSLT -- Bruno Dumon http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
